![]() ![]() One line is a light coffee color, whereas the other is snow. There are a few breeders of snow rosy boas. They also have dark black eyes with red pupils. Instead, they’re an even brighter and shinier white-almost silvery. They’re whiter than regular albinos, because they lose both their dark pigmentation and their red pigmentation. These snakes are the result of a combination of two other morphs, albinos and anerythristic snakes. Snow rosy boas are like albinos, in that they lose their dark pigmentation. The albino Borrego is different again-this snake has straighter, more distinct lines. The pattern is still mottled, but the contrast between the two colors is sharper. Compare them to the albino coastal rosy boa. ![]() The first was taken from the wild rather than bred in captivity. The albino whitewater is from Whitewater Canyon, which is on the Pacific Coast Trail. Albinos also have red or pink eyes, which is distinctive and colorful. They’ll keep the lighter part of their pattern, but lose the darker part. This means that they lose part of their pattern. The mutation makes it so that the snake can’t produce normal amounts of melanin, which are what give the skin or scales dark color. If you breed snakes, you don’t need to know which genes exactly cause albinism. ![]() They identified the specific genes that are responsible for causing amelanism, which is a similar and related mutation. The journal Scientific Reports examined albinism. That’s because they occur more frequently than other mutations, even in the wild.Īlbinism is well studied, and we fully understand the genetic cause of the mutation. 1) Mexican (Lichanura Trivirgata Trivirgata)Īlbino snakes were the first morph to be bred in captivity. The population is divided into several distinct subspecies, which you can easily tell apart because of the color and pattern. You can also find them in southwestern Arizona, and the south of California. So, they are local to Baja California, the very tip of north-western Mexico. Their scales are particularly beautiful, like small shiny beads running along their backs. The average adult size of a rosy boa is 500g, and they grow to between two and four feet, depending on both the subspecies and their captive diet. Regarding length, weight and other characteristics, the different natural morphs are all about the same. Having distinct genetic lines with different patterns and colors is what makes them so interesting. This isn’t because of any problem that comes from interbreeding them. While breeders do introduce morphs like axanthics and albinos to their captive collections, they’re also mindful to keep the subspecies separate. 2 Rosy Boa Color Morphs with Pricing Rosy Boa Morphs List ![]()
